Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast uniface pewter, or other tin alloy, token. The token is missing about 8% from one side. It has two holes cast in it, near the edge and 180 degrees apart, half of one hole has been lost due the break. The token is 21.9mm in diameter, 2.1mm thick and weighs 3.8 grams. It is decorated with two rough initials, probably JI surrounded by an apparently random pattern of six dots. Such simple tokens are difficult to date but the use of initials, the form and the material suggests a post medieval-modern date, probably the 18th century.
